Writing with metal: Before the invention of the pencil, scholars of the Middle Ages used a silver lead for fine lines. Designer Axel Weinbrecht incorporates the principle of metal abrasion in his "Original Inkless Pens" such as the Beta Pen with state-of-the-art materials.
Made from a specially formulated metal alloy, it writes without ink for a lifetime, on any paper, and in any weather (hi, divers! - even underwater). You never have to sharpen it. The writing has about the color of very hard pencil, does not blur, and is not erasable. At first, the feeling of writing is rather "scratchy," but that passes with time. Use the Beta Pen, for example, for notes, to-do lists, or for marking.
The special pen with a timeless design is definitely a long-lasting and sustainable gift for lovers of exceptional and unusual writing instruments.
